I contacted ican directly through their mail and got in touch with "Melody".
http://www.icanbikes.com/index.html

I payed 590usd for the frame and 130 for EMS shipping to Spain.

You can ask ican about shocks, they offered me a RS superdeluxe rct3 for 240usd, but instead, I chose a Sr Suntour triair at 280eur . Since the suntour is out of stock until september, I bought a Manitou McLeod 216x63 that fits as is, no frame contact at full compresion nor at full extension, but I put a 6mm spacer in the air can to limit length and travel to 210x57mm. I knew that the Manitou could be shortened without much hassle, and does affect the air chambers that much.

+1 to what carbonazza said.
The fork will be good. Unless you are willing to use at some point extra large 29x2.8 tires, you can get the 27,5/29" version. I got the 29 and the tire seems stupid skinny in there, even at 29x2.25.
The headset is included with the frame.
The seatpost has to be 30.9mm
The rear axle is boost, so 12x148mm.
The bb is classic threaded BSA 68/73mm

It arrived! I'm so happy with it.
Feels damn solid. Seems massive. I'm eager to get all the parts, but I know it'll take some time yet.
Bearings move like they should, but given that I don't think I'll have all the parts in the next 3 weeks, i have plenty of time to get a complete tear down and put some extra grease where needed.

My frame, size L, with the plastic linkage support that comes instead of a shock and rear axle, weights 2820grams.
My build kit will be:
Sr Suntour Triair Manitou Mcleod with 6mm inside spacer to make 210x57 shock McLeod sold
2017 RS Pike rct3 160mm (27.5/29" version) (order cancelled by RCZ) RS Revelation 2018 + 2019 debonair 160mm air shaft
DT Swiss E1900 wheelset
Mavic Crossride Quest tires (+ tubes)
Sram XX1 shifter
Sram X1 Derailleur
Sram PG-1180 cassette (11s, 10-42)
Shimano XTR 9020 crankset (32t) Sram Xo Carbon crankset, 30t
Shimano bb Sram BB
Truvativ Holzfeller 40mm stem
Nuke Proof Horizon bar(15mm, 780mm)
Brand-X or TranzX 125mm dropper post (not bought yet) OneUp 150mm dropper post
Specialized Phenom saddle
Sram Guide RE front brake and Guide R rear brake Formula Cura brakes
Shimano Xt pedals/flats, depending of the day!
Silicone grips Random Lock on grips.

The shock will not be in stock before 19 of july, and most of the other items were bough in "RCZ" in pre-sale events, thus they may take some time to show up around here. Long build, but the potential for fun of the frame seems awesome.

Edit: some changes due to availability and that thing about looking for good prices and having an open mind about component selection.

Edit(2020) with the components i am currently using

The normal then. Here they add 48.5% before. And then the 4.7% and 21%  :o
I'll check with them if they still are in that mood.

Wow, 48.5% is a though one..... and is like the antidumping tax in Spain. At least, you are exempted of it since you don't import more than 300 units/month.
I don't know yet if I will be awarded with antidumpig tax, but if I do, i'll get an exemption form from the Tax agency. It'll only be longer process.

I have to pay 4.7% import tax, and 21%VAT.
So price for frame and shipping goes from 654€ (frame+shipping from Ican) to 828€ in my door.
I am still dealing with the import papers, but should get it home this week.

Just bought one, it's in the customs waiting for me to clear the import tax.... It took 8 days from payment to the frame getting in Spain.

According to these diagrams I would be 5mm short-legged to use a 150mm dropper post :(
I will have to wait until I have the whole bike assembled with a fixed seat post to take measurements. I see the zone for the seat clamp seems quite long, so I may cut a bit from there and search for the most compact dropper post :)

@Deepsense, which size is it?

For guys with a size L frame, what is the minimun length, seatpost extended, that you have from mid BB to top of the saddle? And which dropper post are you using?
I am planning the remaining components to buy, and have to choose 125 or 150mm dropper post. I' not sure my short legs will be able to handle a 150mm post, thus this question arises.

Thanks

Make a direct contact to them. Aliexpress and, EBAY and other sources may have different prices, since each platform gets a % of the sale thus they increase the price.
I got a quote direct from them, and I am just waiting for an answer from Dengfu about when will the 19" M08 be available. Otherwise P9 it will be.

I got a quote of USD 590 for the P9, plus 130 for EMS and 305 for the Rock Shox superDeluxe rc3 from Ican.

Sorry I was mistaken, I got the same quotation. Other sellers have same paypal fee.
I got a quote for an Ican P9 and the EMS is 130usd.... when it used to be 65. They say EMS increased their cost.
If they had this M8 in 19" I would be really tempted to go for it against the Ican, but right now, NO 19" in production.

price is $690.
So quite in line with other manufacturers.

I just wish they had the 19" available :/

Finally first frames produced, only size 17'5, @2100g.
Two sizes of shock can be used, thanks to a 2 position link in the rocker arm.
The geometry still very interesting. They changed the name, though, to M8, so I updated the thread's name.

I ask them from time to time about how does the project go. Last contact was 2 weeks ago, and they replied:
We are still producing, not finished yet.
I have to say, this is goig to be a tough choice betwwen Ican P9 and this one...
